Route of Synthesis (ROS)
| Conditions | Yield |
| With sodium hydroxide; palladium-carbon In water Experimental Procedure 20 g of 5,6-dihydroxyindoline hydrobromide (86 mmoles) were dissolved in 500 ml of water and 14 g of fumaric acid disodium salt (87 mmoles) and 1.72 g of NaOH (43 mmoles) were successively added to the resulting solution. After addition of 4 g of 5percent Pd/C, the reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hour in an inert gas atmosphere. After filtration, the reaction mixture was continuously extracted for 1 hour with t-butylmethyl ether. After drying of the organic phase over magnesium sulfate and subsequent filtration, the solvent was removed. 9.8 g (66 mmoles) of 5,6-dihydroxyindole were obtained in the form of a light beige-colored powder, corresponding to a yield of 76.5percent, based on the 5,6-dihydroxyindoline hydrobromide used. Analysis by HPLC showed that the 5,6-dihydroxyindole thus obtained has a purity of around 98percent. 1 -NMR (250 MHz, DMSO-d6): 6.12 ppm (d, J=3 Hz, 1H); 6.75 ppm (s, 1H); 6.82 ppm (s, 1H); 6.98 ppm (d, J=3 Hz, 1H); Determination of the coupling constants in MeOH-d4. | 76.5% |
